Homelessness Support
DCA provides funding for organizations and local governments to serve their residents; as such, DCA offers little to no direct assistance to individuals. However, we can connect you with relevant organizations and local partners, many of which receive DCA funding, that might be able to help assist you.
If you are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, Coordinated Entry can help identify resources to support you. To begin, please email homelessinfo@dcaga.zendesk.com or contact 844-249-8367.
If you are a victim of domestic violence: For 24-hour confidential assistance, call 1-800-334-2836 or 1-800-799-SAFE (Spanish: 770-479-1703). Additional information is available at https://www.gcadv.org.
What Should I Do Next?
- Contact your local coordinated entry provider to begin your assessment and get connected with resources.
- These organizations have access to DCA funding (i.e. Emergency Solutions Grants, Continuum of Care funding, and others) that is used to help address homelessness and provide shelter or stable housing option.
- Most of DCA’s resources go to these community-based organizations that provide direct case management and service to individuals experiencing homelessness. We do not have funds to provide direct service ourselves.
- There are 8 CoC’s in the state that serves local areas. Continuum of Care contacts are listed by county, and at https://dca.georgia.gov/affordable-housing/homelessness-assistance/georgia-balance-state-continuum-care/i-am-homeless-and..
